Does the user ID here refer to Stripe customer ID or your own defined user ID?

tender kestrel Apr 12, 2023, 2:37 AM

#

Our own defined user id

swift drum Apr 12, 2023, 2:42 AM

#

Am I right to understand that you would like to store your own defined user ID in the Checkout Session that you will be able to retrieve it when receiving checkout.session.completed event?

tender kestrel Apr 12, 2023, 2:45 AM

#

Yes, correct.
when receiving checkout.session.completed event, we want to store the subscription id for our own define user ID in the database.

swift drum Apr 12, 2023, 2:50 AM

#

In this case, you can set the user ID in metadata when creating a Checkout Session and the information will be present under metadata field in checkout.session.completed event: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-metadata

Ok, so i can add a custom field in the metadata like the following?

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({ success_url: 'https://example.com/success', line_items: [ {price: 'price_H5ggYwtDq4fbrJ', quantity: 2}, ], mode: 'payment', user_id: '126373889494' });

#

Nope. You should set your user_id kay-value pair in metadata field. For example,

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
  success_url: 'https://example.com/success',
  cancel_url: 'https://example.com/cancel',
  line_items: [
    {price: 'price_xxx', quantity: 2},
  ],
  mode: 'payment',
  metadata: {
    user_id: 'user_123',
  },
});

Ok checking

#

Ok great, I was able to get the user_id in the checkout session. Thanks very much @swift drum for your help.

swift drum Apr 12, 2023, 3:03 AM

#

No problem! Happy to help 😄

tender kestrel Apr 12, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

Just one last question, how to get the custom user_id metadata from the checkout.session.completed webhoook event?
is this going to be something like
event.data.object.metadata.user_id?

swift drum Apr 12, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

It looks right to me

tender kestrel Apr 12, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

Ok great, thanks @swift drum
